1997-present Cartman is about as iconic a character as there is in the adult cartoon world. To steal a line once used to describe the horrors of industrialization, Cartman is “nasty, brutish and short” -- and to our endless amazement and amusement, we find that he is blessed with virtually no redeeming qualities. His innocent selfishness never wavers, and the only way to summarize South Park is to list some of Cartman’s more memorable acts of hostility.

After inheriting a whack of cash from his grandmother, Cartman opens an amusement park for the sole purpose of banning his best friends Stan, Kenny and Kyle from ever entering and having a little fun. In another episode, he locks a group of pot-smoking hippies in his basement to prevent them from organizing another lame music festival. In short, South Park is Cartman’s show, and he exercises careless vindication in every jaw-dropping way possible.
